Adding Data from Models

To create a new profile from physical or logical models, perform these steps:
  1. In a web browser, go to:

    http://server:port/metadata-insights

    Where server is the server name or IP address of your Spectrumâ„¢ Technology Platform server and port is the HTTP port. By default, the HTTP port is 8080.

  2. Log in using your credentials.
  3. On the Home page, click Profiling.
  4. Click the Add Profile button .
    The Add Profile page is displayed with a wizard showing three stages of profile creation: Select Source > Configure Profile > Finish.
  5. From the Select data source options, select the Model option.
  6. From the Select model drop-down list, select the physical or logical model you want to use to create your profile. To narrow down your search by model type (physical or logical) or model name, type it in the field and the related models will start displaying below the field. For example, if you type "logical" all the logical models will be displayed.
    Note: To create a new model or to modify an existing one, click on the Manage models link. It navigates you to the Modeling page, where you can create and save a new physical/logical model. This model can then be selected to create profile using the Select model drop-down list.
    The tables and columns in the selected model are displayed below the field.
  7. From the list of tables, select tables that you want to include in the profile. In each of the tables, you can also select the columns you need for the new profile. To include all the tables and columns, select the check box in the header row.
    Note: Use the type-ahead search text box to search for specific tables/columns.
  8. To configure the profile you created, click on the top right corner of the page.
